[Chef Sticky makes a Burger]

Not bad at all. The animation quality in particular deserves plenty of credit. The cheese joke was the most memorable bit - perhaps it's why you only remembered that part from the old version?

[Nicole Watterson Version Anka Dance]

Now let me get this out of the way: the animation is on point. That said, it looks a little unfinished. The obvious missing part is the music. Maybe a background? Other than that, the essential is there, and it looks pretty good.

cold1sfordagirls responds:

It has music but I uploaded just the animation

[TANKMAN BECOMING UNCANNY (PART 2)]

I like this. I'd love to see a Becoming Canny version of it.

SecretFormulaTarts responds:

Of course! I'll be working on it definitely :]

[Clutter]

All I get is the main menu (and its clickety theme), a "Pause" and a "Resume" button, and a prompt that says "Running with IndexedDB access disabled." Neither button works. There's no game to play.

Revised review after getting to level 1 at last.

First things first - a proper "start game" or "level select" button, please!

Other than that, the concept is interesting, having to wade through a cluttered mess of physics objects to get to another seems like the start of something interesting.

Trell13 responds:

Oh sorry. Clicking on the screen should start the game.

[BS Music Visualizer]

Visualizers are a lost art. If you're like me and you never quite gave up Winamp and the various presets and visualizer options, seeing new ones is always a treat for the eyes. Not to mention, what a wonderful way to showcase your work!

I heavily recommend turning on Fullscreen in the options, and playing with the options for fine-tuning the visuals. My favorite presets are Connect the Dots and Black Hole, though even the default preset is really pleasing to look at.

I won't spend too much time reviewing the music since it should be about the visualizer, but I'll say this: you are one talented artist and I will definitely be checking your Audio Portal posts.

Only have a tiny nitpick: No pause button! I would have liked at least that, but I don't think that nitpick is worth reducing the score. Well-deserved five stars.

BryceSummer responds:

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :).

[Presents rush]

It's all about getting a good rhythm down and not screwing up with sending the correct color, though it is more challenging than it lets on. Don't spam the presents - each one you mess up reduces the happiness bar. And it does progressively get faster the longer it goes on.

For something made in two days, it's a perfectly serviceable holidays-themed game. I couldn't find glaring issues, only minor nitpicks (a typo at "multiplier", and no music mute button for the poor souls working retail who have to hear this all day long), but really it's me trying to find tiny faults and is not meant in any way to detract from the value in there.

Overall, it is pretty fun. Good job, hope to see more from you.

David-Andrei responds:

Thanks a lot for taking your time to review my game, it helps me a lot to improve and to figure out what should I change in order to make great games!

[Melodic Solace]

It's like 2007 never went away at all. 14 years later and I'm still listening to this (and still playing wpnFire).

I have no idea if the author is still reading comments, and it's probably a very unoriginal comment, but I can legitimately say that listening to this track, while playing wpnfire or by itself, is some of my best teenage years memories now.

If there's ever a chance we could get a high-quality version of this uploaded (since the MySpace page of the author is down)... I would pay money, actual money, to commission a 2021 version of this, too!

[The Return]

The master has returned.

CrimzonWolf777 responds:

Master? *gasp* SINCE WHEN?!

[-Precarious-]

The atmosphere exuded by this track is amazing! I found myself keeping this on repeat for much of the night. Many parts of this track reminded me of similar experimental tracks from the demoscene, and although this lacks the obvious "tracker" sound (as this was not composed in tracker format), there is definitely the same soul of experimental tinkering and hobbyist thinking. Music of that sort is rare and impossible to truly categorize, but always a delight! Perhaps it is not meant to be categorized - only experienced.

Well, I can say it with confidence: I would love more of this! I certainly enjoyed the experience of listening to -Precarious-, and I hope you one day release a follow-up to this.
